Gang of Four meme

I love food blogging. Recipes. Baking tips. Restaurant recommendations. And sometimes I love memes. They amuse and entertain me. I read a meme by Hannahtoday that filled me with delight and so I took up her invitation to do it myself. I made a few changes and added four photos - see if you can guess which one was not taken recently!Four fantastic films I have watched on the telly recently:

Sunset Boulevard

The Black Balloon

Bran Nu Dae

U Be Dead (telemovie)

Four things I get cross about:

Sloppy news reports

Bad drivers

Typos

Poor management

Four words/phrases I use a lot:

I am most displeased

Maintain the rage

I am so tired

Cuggle

Four things I’ve learned from the past:

If you can’t get one of the rude Polish tourism workers to help you get the bus you paid for out of Warsaw, pay for the train.

If you miss the ferry from Paris to London and you have to get the eurostar, you will get there quicker than if you had caught the ferry in the first place.

American customs is a breeze compared to Israeli customs

Alice Springs is not as close to Uluru as you would think

Four places I would like to go:

Nepal – I almost did and then I met E

The Outer Hebrides, Scotland – always meant to visit when I lived in Scotland

Moscow – because that is where the Transiberian Express starts

Uluru – one of the tourist attractions in Australia I am yet to see

Four things I did yesterday:

Dreamt about chatting to Kasey Chambers - she was lovely

Arrived at work late for a meeting

Drew chalk circles on the concrete in the backyard - at Sylvia's request

Wrote a to do list before I went to bed

Four things I am looking forward to:

The air conditioner being fixed

A parcel that is in the post for me

Winter

Apples being in season

Four things I love about winter:

Winter woollies

The sound of rain outside

Baking bread

Hearty stews

Four things I should be doing rather than this meme:

Going to bed

Tidying the house

Replying to emails

Paying bills

No tagging other people today! If you enjoyed this meme, feel free to write up your own gang of four post!

*laughs* Brilliant! I love your take on the meme - kinda wish I'd done your version ;) I'm also incredibly impressed with the speed with which you wrote this up! Funnily enough, I actually had "hug?" as one of my four phrases in my first draft, before I changed it. Cuggle is just that little bit better ;)

Thanks Lucy - thanks for the tip on apples - often miss the beginning of the season as I am so enamoured of stone fruit but apples always make me feel better about the end of stone fruit season - and the giraffes are from edinburgh at the top of leith walk

Thanks Chele - Glad to hear the giraffes are still there - it must be about 4 years ago since I took this photo!

Thanks for dropping by. I love hearing from you. Please share your thoughts and questions. Annoyingly the spammers are bombarding me so I have turned on the pesky captcha code (refresh to find an easy one if you don't like the first one)
